If you walk into the lava and let yourself sink instead of warping to safety, the game will reference Terminator 2.

• In the New Baranec Let's Pretend store, if you shoot at the "Employee's Only" sign enough, the door will open. It leads to a secret shooting gallery with headshots of the game's developers and a bathroom with a blowup doll in it. The room also contains a gun called the Loud Locust, which in both name and behavior is a reference to the Noisy Cricket gun from Men In Black.
• In Rosen Oaks, there is a Salem Broomstick vehicle on top of Zin Tower. This is a reference to Saints Row: The Third's DLC "Witches and Weiners."
• North of the bridge that leads east from Brickston, you can find a secret cave that contains The Penetrator (Dildo Bat) weapon, which was first used in Saints Row: The Third.
• The Pyro elemental in "Breaking the Law" is a reference to Beavis and Butthead.
• When you kill Zinyak, Kinzie says, "You keep what you kill," a reference to Chronicles of Riddick.
• If you talk to Keith David long enough after you leave the simulator, he will eventually mention the game Dead Island.
• When the Zin are attacking the White House, you can hear the sound effect used for the Reapers' lasers in the Mass Effect series.
• The stealth mission is filled with references to Metal Gear Solid, such as visible reactions above the guards' heads when you shoot the lightbulbs, the ability to sneak with the help of a box, and an evil twin battle.
• One of the Security Deletion missions pits you against a Minecraft character.
• The "Leave It to the Saints" simulation parodies Leave It to Beaver. It also has a second Easter egg, as the mother refers to sending away a man named Dex because she didn't recognize him. This is a reference to how the Saints Row 2 character Dex was excluded from Saints Row: The Third because new players wouldn't recognize him.
• Kinzi comments on the similarity between Keith David's voice and Julius's. Keith David voices both characters.
• The gun turret scene at the beginning includes a shout-out to Space Invaders, as the alien ships line up in the same way.
• The side-scroller mini-game "Saints of Rage" is a reference to Streets of Rage.
• The murder bots that first appear in "Ghost in the Machine" look like the Terminator, and their weapons sound like the Terminator's weapons.
• When the Earth is blown up, you receive a trophy/achievement called "Don't Panic," a reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
• The scene where you absorb the Warden is a reference to Neo absorbing Agent Smith in The Matrix, and Zinyak's behavior in "Zero Cool" is a shout-out to the Matrix architect in The Matrix: Reloaded.
• In the "He Lives" Loyalty mission, the line about Keith putting on the glasses to see the people aren't aliens is a shout-out to They Live.
• The bike in one of the Virus Collection missions is from Tron.
